I spent a while, and pestered many a librarian - some of whom for
which English was not their first language. Two people searching the
university of Stuttgart could not find it, and offered that it may
have been lost. I've wondered if Callum Coats has an original,
though I seem to remember discussing the matter with Curt Halberg and
he offering that a copy wasn't in Coat's possession. I never
received word from Jorg Schauberger. I would try him if I were to
again be looking.
Sadly, it didn't seem too unreasonable that a library would loose a
copy of an old technical report, unpublished by formal journals.
Still, it would be a notable loss in this case. Someone today will
have to reproduce the work!
